Well, I was wondering what the command for switching bsp's is? I know that it is (switch_bsp [short]) but what exactly goes in the '[short]' area? I figured it was something along the lines of 0,1. Although I am not completely sure.

Another question, I dont mean to waste your time, how do I get the map to load a 'specific' bsp upon starting?

Is this in sapien or halo ce dev?

In halo ce dev, the [short] is the bsp number, like in bloodgulch, the bsp is #0

In sapien, theres a menu at the top to switch to a bsp without the need of a dev command.

In scripts, its pretty much the same as the Dev

Sorry, I should have stated sapien, ok, thanks for the help, theres still the little problem of getting my map to load a 'specific' bsp. Any ideas about this?

Do you have any other Bsps?

A total of 13. I tried the bsp switch script to change the bsp on spawn. But, sadly, it didn't work. So that leaves me with the option of changing the bsp that the map first loads, and of which I have no clue how to do. Help?

You can always script a startup script to switch to the designated bsp, or in guerilla, you can scroll down to the bottom where it lsits all your bsps. just make the bsp you want to load first be the top one (bsp 0).

Ah, I see. To Gamma the script was:

(script startup bsp-switch1
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects bsp-switch1 (players)) 15)
(switch_bsp 5
)
)

Scripts successfully compiled after this. But I still spawned mid-air. The bsp's are b40's bsp's I'm doing an sp mod, starting with this map, fyi.

And to Masters, I had hunch about that, so just line them up in the order I want it to go in?

I'll try this out when I'm done my homework.

Not sure if spawning in air has anything to do with scripting, but there is a much easier way to switch bsps, without scripting. Just name the trigger volume "bsp 0,1" (without the quotes) and when the player enters it will change from bsp 0 to bsp 1, the next bsp on the list in Guerilla. You can also do this for returning to a previous bsp, e.g. "bsp 1,0" or "bsp 2,1" (2 being the third bsp).

OH, so thats how you do it, I thought you needed a script to accompany the trigger volume so it will work, so basically, all I do is make a trigger volume, and name it bsp ?

To switch bsp, yes you would create a script such as

(script startup bsp
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects bsp (players)) 15)
(switch_bsp [bsp number])
)

About your problem, best I can understand is that you are spawning in your trigger volume, and it's switching immediately, and you spawn in the second BSP, which is not near your first BSP, so your spawn point doesn't correspond to anything.

Did you not understand my post? You don't NEED a script, you just name the trigger volume "bsp [current bsp #],[next bsp #]"

Bleh. I misread his post. I thought he wanted the script, not confirmation on how to switch bsp.

I'm just looking for the fastest and most effective way to switch bsp's. And thanks for your help everyone, much appreciated :D.
